Is it better to enable javascript in LibreWolf or switch to a different browser when a site needs it? Does switching browsers help in general? (lemmy.world)

I'm currently using LibreWolf (a Firefox fork) as my primary browser, with uBlock Origin set to block scripts by default on all but a few sites. When i need to use a site that's not one of these trusted ones and refuses to work without JS (for example, forums.linuxmint.com), is it better for my privacy to temporarily allow JS or to open the site in a different browser like FF or Vivaldi?

Does switching browsers actually make it harder to track me, especially ones that don't have full modern CSS and JS support like Dillo, Links2, Alhena, and NetSurf?

I strongly recommend the uMatrix-Addon for FF/LibreWolf. It gives you maximum control about all the requests your browser does.
